'Extreme Makeover' (Sun., 8PM ET on ABC) provides deserving people with better surroundings. But what if you can't hear what surrounds you in the first place? On the new episode, the team provides a home -- but they also help a bunch of deserving students feel more at home with themselves.Ty Pennington and his team must rebuild the Oregon School for the Deaf. This school helps the deaf community in that region -- but they're suffering from a lack of funding. So the 'Makeover' squad shows up -- and they don't just want to change the housing.
The school's dormitories date from the 1950s, and now are structurally unsafe. Plus, they look like a "prison," according to one young man. The housing is rebuilt, but more than that, a greater effort is made. The team provides students with hearing aids, allowing them to hear the outside world ... for the first time ever.
